Why can't I airplay to multiple appletv

I run a church and want to be able to send my ipad keynote presentation to multiple appletvs in different parts of the building.  There does not appear to be any way to send the signal to more than one appletv at a time.  Is this correct, and if so will the new appletv add this feature so that it becomes a more usable experience, I love the fact that I can transmit my itunes around the building to multiple airport express and play them through different audio units, but the video thing is frustrating!

That is correct, AirPlay is a one-to-one device pairing. You cannot send it to multiple AppleTVs. There has been no announcement of a new AppleTV model at this time.

  • HT5922 Why can't I airplay my HD movie? (HDCP)

    I downloaded Hugo HD (iTunes 12 days of gifts) on my Macbook Pro and it won't let me airplay to my apple tv. I can airplay from itunes normally. The airplay symbol will stay up until I start playing Hugo and then it disappears. I've tried mirroring and dragging my itunes screen to my apple tv and it displays "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)" error message. Why can't I play my HD movie on my apple tv? What's the deal?

    Note: Depending on your computer's hardware limitations, you may be unable to purchase, rent, or view HD content from the iTunes Store. If you are trying to view HD video on an external display, the display must have a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI) and support HDCP.

  • AirPlay to multiple AppleTVs - will sound be in sync?

    I am currently researching options on how to get music to multiple rooms synchronously. I don't need any fancy multiroom "play different music in every room" options, I just want the same music to play in every room, and I don't want to lay cables.
    The new AppleTV with AirPlay from an old MacBook running iTunes seems like a cheap-ish solution, but I haven't found the answer to a very important question:
    If I stream music from iTunes to multiple (up to five) AppleTVs, will they be absolutely in sync? I don't want to walk from one room into another only to have the rhythm disrupted.

    As has been said, yes, it just works.
    What happens is that, when multiple speakers (this is the term used in iTunes for multiple outputs) are selected, the music is delayed for a second or two, after selecting play, before it starts playing. This is so that all the speakers can respond to iTunes saying they are ready for the request to play.
    It can be a little disconcerting at first when manually controlling the playback to have no sound for a second while waiting for the system to catch up with what you have requested.

  • How can I use airplay with multiple speakers from my iPod?

    I recently purchased a bluetooth wireless speaker in hopes that, while the ipod is docked on a speaker system, I can listen to my music from both set of speakers.  Is there anyway to use multiple speakers with my ipod through the airplay system or an app that I can download to enhance my music listening experience?

    Based on previous discussions, You can only AiPlay to one set of speakers.

  • Why can't I airplay my ipad to my iMac?

    I just don't understand why I can't do this?  I am loosing faith... it seems logical that this would be seemless... Any ideas?

    How old is your iMac? Apple clearly states in Mountain Lion's specifications:
    AirPlay Mirroring
    Requires a second-generation Apple TV or later. Supports the following Mac models:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    Airplay doesn't promise mirroring between your iPad to an iMac, that is something I think you misread or were misinformed about. However you may get lucky and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzbZWmVh52I . This is unsupported and you're pretty much on your own.

  • Why can't I airplay mirror my Mac Book Pro (new) with my TV when I play a DVD on my Mac Book?

    I can see the screen from my Mac Book Pro but the DVD movie only displays as a check board on my TV. If I choose to look at my Mac Book only it works fine. BR hp

    I'm not certain but I think Airplay is a non-secure protocol.
    So if someone wrote a program to intercept Airplay they could potentially make a copy of that encrypted DVD you are trying to Airplay, albeit with compression and other compromises.

  • Why can't i airplay to my Apple Tv 3 from youtube on my MacBook pro when i can from my iPhone?

    Would be great to get a airplay button on youtube videos in Safari but nothing like this seems to exist?

    Ok. i just discovered the new Google streaming service.
    i can now stream youtube videos from my mac to a Philips receiver connected to my TV...
    Thank you Apple for not giving this feature with Aplle TV...!
    I'm now using my mac with a non-apple tv receiver.

  • Why can I not airplay movies and video to my apple TV.

    I have a 4S phone and even mirroring does not work.  I can, however, airplay play music from both my phone and computer.  Does my apple TV need to be hardwired with ethernet rather than wirelessly connected. My apple tv responds with a caution triangle stating "An error occurred loading this content".

    I would try to restart both devices

  • Why can I no longer configure multiple unsupervised devices?

    It looks like Apple Configurator removed the ability to install a profile to multiple unsupervised devices, and makes the act of doing so with a single device much more laborious.
    I use Apple Configurator to install a small profile that pushes a trust certificate, WiFi config, and Web Clip to enroll the device on our MDM server. I often set up large batches of iPads at once, so this made the process of getting each one onto our WiFi and enrolled much quicker. We have multiple admins on this network, and don't want to tie the devices to a single computer/Configurator install.
    Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, even folllowing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5833 it still appears impossible to use Apple Configurator to install multiple profiles on even one device at once without using Supervise mode.
    So, if I want to install a profile which connects the device to a WiFi network (without which enrolment will fail) and then a Trust and Enrollment profile, I seem to have no option but to go through three cycles installing profiles, rather than allowing Configurator to automatically install each profile in turn in one pass.
    This is extremely frustrating and VERY time consuming for mass deployments!!

  • WHy can I no longer open multiple tabs; whenever I try each tab is opened but no page is downloaded but no error messages are displayed

    Each tab displays the usual rotational 'downloading' icon but even if I wait several minutes nothing happens.....
    Even if I halt all or close all tabs bar one I am no longer able to download any pages unless I close Firefox completely and restart.
    Upon restart I can then open tabs slowly one at a time but if more than one of my open tabs tries to update similtaneously then the problem reoccurs and I have to restart Firefox once again.
    I have tried removing & reinstalling Firefox as well as creating an all new profile (importing only bookmarks) with no change

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why can't I select (multiple) Airplay (audio) devices as I can on IOS?

    I have an older Macbook Pro (mid 2009) so I can't use Airplay Mirroring, but audio streaming is available. As far as I can see I have to select the audio output from within the system preferences and can only select one device. Why not implement this like in iTunes / IOS? That means that there's a button avaible in the menubar to quickly select the audio output channel / channels. Also with the option available to send the audio output of a specific application to the Airplay speakers as is possible with Airfoil. Looks likes it's stil interesting to buy this add-on ...

    The sound options you are referring to in System Preferences are for devices hard connected to the machine, not using WiFi. If you would like it added tell Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • In the new iphoto app, why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once?

    why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once? it seems i can only save one at a time and its very frustrating..
    the options seem to be there, they are just greyed out and i cant click on them.
    at first i thought its because the images were too big, so i tried it with smaller images but same thing.
    APPLE HELP!

    I can confirm @khaniff's original post the option in iPhoto for iOS is greyed out in conflict with the referenced article that follows:
    Save to the Camera Roll
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap .
    Tap Camera Roll.
    Confirm or change the photos you want to share by tapping an option.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.
